Booklist Review

Finely spun entertainment: 10 novellas, 5 by Americans and 5 by English writers, all dealing with some aspect of the supernatural. From the extensive yet not consistently superior body of horror literature, compiler Ashley has drawn a fine group of tales from a wide range of writers: someone old, someone new, someone famous, someone obscure. But each voice here is excellent. From the haunted French chateau in Oliver Onions' The Rope in the Rafters, to the rich style of Algernon Blackwood (depicting a writer's and his artist sister's visiting of a country house, over which an ``impure thing'' reigns) in The Damned, to a family curse in David Case's Fengriffen, to Stephen King's sinister toy in The Monkey, each work conjures a perfectly creepy atmosphere. From cover to cover, a book to keep you awake nights. BH.
